School's done for the semester! Whats next? The possibilities are endless. As they always are. On the fitness front, I've set some goals for myself and am about to write up a plan to achieve these goals. For now, the goal over the next 3 months is to gain about 5-10 pounds of quality muscle while keeping my conditioning. This I believe is a reasonable target, as I tend to add muscle easily.
To achieve these goals, I've written up a training, diet and supplementation program for myself.
1. Training: I will continue with a 4 day per week split, training the whole body thrice a week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays I'll train in the 12-15 repetition range and Saturdays will be heavy workout day with 6 rep sets.
So, training will be:
Monday: Lower Body(high rep)
Tuesday:Upper Body(high rep)
Thursday: Whole Body(high rep)
Saturday: Whole Body(low rep)
Low intensity cardio in the mornings and cardio post workout(depending on energy level)
2. Diet:
Carb Cycling. However, my low carb days will have about 100 gms carbs because I'm trying to add some muscle.
Monday - Thursday Evening:- 100 gm carbs, 200 gms protein and whatever fat naturally is in food.
Thursday Evening(post workout) :- Saturday Morning:- 600 gms carbs, 400 gms protein and keep fat low.
Saturday PostWorkout - Sunday Night :- Maintenance level eating, 200 gms carbs and 200 gms protein basically.
3. Supplementation:
I'm going to be adding a new product to my supplement stack.
NO-Explode:- I'm picking NO-Explode because it contains:
1. Arginine and other compounds to improve pumps and ATP levels in the gym.
2. Creatine - Ive already written quite a bit about the benefits of creatine.
3. Caffine, and some useful Amino acids like L-Tyrosine and Taurine.
4. Electrolyte Replacers.
All this makes NO-Explode an ideal product to rely on for my summer lean muscle gain goals. I will be using 1 serving on all days of the week.
Apart from NO-Explode, I'll be using my regular supplement stack of:
1. Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Cookies & Cream
2. Now Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid
3. Fish Oil
4. VPX Redline
Its a solid program, with all bases covered. My progress is inevitable and unstoppable!
